Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

30 seems like such a milestone--i dread it everyday---i'm saving up for a new bike---once you hit 30, you need a new and lighter bike and a new and lighter girl.

Looks like I'm still the fossil here at 56. Anyone beat that?

Would it help if I got a white belt and some ink?

I have seen "hipster" come and go at least 4 times since the late 50's..... sometimes it was an insult, sometimes a compliment.

Michaelnel, consider yourself beat. I'm sneaking up on 61.
